MDA Legislative ALERT: Repeal of the Waters of the US Rule

What we are asking you to do is to write a very short Navigable water letter to the new EPA Administrator. It can be short and sweet. Two or three sentences at the most.

Either pop it in the mail box or e-mail it - OW-Docket@epa.gov - or fax it to (202) 566 9744 We have enclosed all the info you need to write the letter. We wouldn’t be asking your help if it weren’t very important.

Mr. Scott Pruitt, Administrator
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
1200 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W.
Washington, D.C. 20460

EPA Docket Center
EPA-HQ-OW-2017-0203
Mail Code 28221T

Dear Administrator Pruitt:

I am writing in support of the repeal of the 2015 Waters of the U.S. Rule by EPA.

My dairy operation is located in _________________________________________. I believe the rule that was put in place by the previous administration was a clear example of regulatory over-reach and went well beyond the authority granted to EPA under the Clean Water Act.

As a dairy producer, it would have been almost impossible to comply with these regulations.

Therefore, I appreciate and applaud your efforts to repeal the rule.

Or you can say I support your efforts to repeal the 2015 WOTUS Rule. It is a prime example of federal regulatory over-reach.

Or say Thank you for repealing the 2015 WOTUS Rule. It would have been a huge regulatory burden for my dairy operation as well as my neighbors.

The Missouri Dairy Association has already sent a letter but you are encouraged to send one on behalf of your dairy.
